[2025 Seoul Restaurant] Travel Guide for Anthracite Coffee Hapjeong (Updated Jul)

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 There are always some places in your travels where you don’t want to leave once you sit down. Anthracite Coffee Roasters (앤트러사이트) in Mangwon-dong, Seoul is one of them. We ordered lattes and Americanos made from Colombian and Ethiopian beans. The best part is that when you buy coffee beans here you get a cup of coffee for free, which is a great deal! 200g of beans cost ₩14,000, and a cup of coffee costs ₩6,000~₩7,000, which means you can earn a cup of coffee for every bean you buy! The environment is really perfect, the pictures are so beautiful that they look like movies. The yard outside is also surrounded by flowers, plants and trees, making it look like a secret place in the city. If you also love cafes with soul and stories, this one really needs to be on your must-visit list in Seoul!

💕 If you don't want to run around sightseeing in Seoul, just shop and eat, 3 days including Friday and the weekend are definitely enough. ✈️ In terms of transportation, the most convenient way is from Shanghai Hongqiao to Gimpo. Once you arrive at Gimpo, there is a direct subway to Hongdae, which only takes 30 minutes and you can use the Tmoney transportation card. When taking the plane, it is recommended to choose a seat near the front row, and walk quickly to the customs after getting off the plane, so that there are fewer people in line, and you can get through customs in about 15 minutes. However, there is no GM when returning to Gimpo Airport, and there are not many shops to visit. 🏠 For accommodation, it is highly recommended to stay in Hongdae. I personally think it is better to choose a hotel or a homestay with an elevator. I didn't pay much attention this time, and I found a homestay without an elevator. When I moved the boxes, I really had a little breakdown. ☕️ One of the characteristics of South Korea is coffee. I was in the rhythm of two cups a day there. Let me share with you a few coffee shops I have visited (ranked by personal preference): 1⃣️ Susanghan Bagel The main thing here is that the bagels are super delicious! Especially the Qingyang Chili Scallion Bagel, which looks like a dark dish, but as long as you take a bite, you will definitely fall in love with it. Their coffee is also very good. It is very close to Hongdae, and it is very suitable as a breakfast check-in place. 2⃣️ Fritz Their logo is a cute little seal. I had breakfast here for two days in a row. The coffee in Seoul is generally light, the kind of light roast, with a strong aroma but not a particularly strong coffee flavor. It is located near Hongdae. 3⃣️ Anthracite It is said that this shop is in the top ten in the world, but I don't think it is much different from Fritz. It may be because I personally prefer coffee with a strong coffee flavor. I recommend everyone to go to the Hannam-dong store. You can have a cup after shopping. 4⃣️ OATS I personally feel that their Viennese coffee is a bit too sweet, but the appearance is still very good, and the street in front of the store is super suitable for taking photos. Oh, by the way, the atmosphere of coffee shops in South Korea is super good, and it is very suitable for taking photos with a Polaroid camera. 🥢 Food: Soy crab must be the first! I recommend Pyeonghae's. There is also 24h potato pork bone soup, which is super popular, but there are too many people, and you have to queue for 3 hours. You can only wait on the spot, and there is no air conditioning. There are also relatively few seats. I can only give up in the end. I feel that the barbecue here is not much different from the Korean Street in Shanghai. 🎬 Shopping: I highly recommend Hannam-dong, where shops are more concentrated. At the end of July, it is the discount season, and the discounts are quite attractive. However, it is also the rainy season, and the weather is hot and humid, even hotter than the plum rain season in Shanghai. Everyone should be mentally prepared.

My favorite cafe in Seogyo-dong 'Anthracite', they sell regular coffee, but the drip coffee that the barista pours for me is so good ~ ☕️ #View restaurant #Cafe tour #Insta hot place #Hongdae cafe #Hot place certification shot #Cafe

#SeoulAttractions Today I must recommend you an amazing cafe - Anthracite, which is ranked in the top 10 in Asia👏 Anthracite has several stores, but I recommend the one in Mangwondong the most! As soon as you walk in, it feels like you're in Kyoto. The environment is top-notch 🌳⛩️ Compared to other noisy cafes in Seoul, this place is really super quiet. It's so comfortable to stay here, and it makes people relax physically and mentally🥹 The scenery and decoration of the cafe are stunningly beautiful. Sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows is like being integrated into a painting. It is really super healing. It has three floors, with outdoor seating and even private rooms on the second and third floors, making it a great place to spend time alone or with friends. Let’s talk about coffee. Most Korean coffees have a light taste, which you get used to after a few days. However, Anthracite’s coffee is relatively strong, and they have a rich selection of beans, so it’s worth a try. Even if you don’t come for the coffee, it’s great to just spend time in this beautiful scenery and comfortable environment 😎 This is also a pet-friendly cafe. I saw a puppy quietly looking out the window at the scenery. It was so cute! 📍Address: Anthracite Coffee Seogyo, 11 World Cup-ro 12-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea For those of you who want to visit Seoul, don’t miss this store and add it to your check-in list!

#January travel support event #Mangwon Cafe Anthracite Cafe is a quiet cafe where you can read books and work, so you don't play music and you have to talk so that people next to you can't hear you. I like quiet cafes, and I went there last time and liked it, so I went back again to plan a trip to Mongolia. It's always a good place to go.

I visited Anthracite because I wanted to read in Yeonhui-dong on the weekend!! Looking for a large cafe in Yeonhui-dong that isn't too crowded or noisy on the weekend, I ended up visiting Anthracite. Anthracite is already very famous, and I've wanted to go there for a long time, so I took my iPad with me and it was very satisfying. The cafe is large, the space isn't too cramped, and the coffee and desserts are delicious, so I was very pleased :) If you're looking for a peaceful cafe in Yeonhui-dong on the weekend, I recommend Anthracite!
